Pan Seared Sirloin Steaks with Sauteed Onions by John Spottiswood

We don't eat a lot of steak, and when we do I normally grill it. My mom used to frequently serve pan seared steaks, generally cheaper cuts like sirloin or london broil. So I thought I'd give it a try and see if I could come up with something competitive with my grill. I started with a base recipe from Cook's Illustrated, and…

Spicy Shrimp on Spinach by John Spottiswood

We made this as one of the dishes at our annual stay at the Koehler Winery near in Los Olivos near Santa Barbara. Everything we made was delicious, but this might have been my favorite. We served it as an appetizer, and everyone raved about it. It was extremely easy and quick and the presentation was beautiful. I made this with a…

Oven Roasted Salmon w. Cauliflower & White Bean Sauté by Yvonne Tally, Your Fit Gourmet

Wild salmon will be previously frozen at sea during the winter months. The salmon will still taste great but should be cooked the day of purchase and eaten within 1 day. I use salmon all year around but only purchase it at my neighborhood fish store, Whole Foods or any high end independent grocery store.

Venison or Elk and Apricot Mustard Sauce by Amos Miller

As H.D. Thoreau said: "Simplify, simplify!" Time to share a favorite recipe, especially for my CES friend, Jed Gibbons, who asked for an idea for this cut of venison, and Nanette may like this, too. Gibbons, who is a heart-of-the-city dweller, is fortunate to have relatives who give him the outstanding wild meats - and thereby save…

Cider-Glazed Boneless Pork Loin Chops by Foodiewife

This excellent recipe comes from America’s Test Kitchen (Cook’s Illustrated). Boneless pork chops can easily be overcooked and tough. But, using a technique of searing them and then “poaching” the chops in a sauce of apple cider vinegar, apple cider, brown sugar and a little soy sauce and Dijon mustard the chops come out moist and…

Goat Cheese Crusted Loin of Lamb by Alex Marsh

This is a lamb dish that I put on the menu at Brick when I first started here in 2007. I love the play between the sweetness of the caponata, and the earthy flavor of the goat cheese. The slightly acidic and sweet tomato sauce brings it all home...

Blackened Tilapia by Frank Fariello

You may be thinking that we eat nothing but rich Italian dishes in our house. Well, it is true that we mostly eat Italian--and why not, no other cuisine that I know of has so many dishes that are quick, easy, healthy and, to my taste at least, delicious. But from time to time I do branch out and prepare other kinds of food. Here's a…
